Greetings,
I will be traveling in Italy for the next week, so there will be no new content, but have no fear, The Wine of the Week UNDER $15 will return October 7th.
I will also (hopefully) have lots of great pictures from my trip through Veneto and the northern reaches of Italian wine country.
See you soon!
I logged on this morning to find that Birmingham Magazine mentioned The Wine Pig in their annual “Birmingham on the Web” article. Thanks to them for the kind words! Go out and pick up a copy (check out pg. 87) and see who else made the list. Special congrats to Andre Natta over at The Terminal, his is a page I enjoy almost daily.

The Dow Jones is below 12000, gas prices are above $4, foreclosures are at a record high. Wine is expensive, and that six-pack of Sierra Nevada is looking better and better. Easy there, before you start forgoing the corks for the hops, hear me out.
As a member of the wine industry, I see customers every day looking for the next great value in wine. Whether they typically purchase a $15 bottle and are now looking into the $10 selections, or perhaps just thinking of dialing back from that bottle of Silver Oak to something a bit more reasonable, everyone is looking to get a little more bang for their respective buck.
Here at The Wine Pig, my goal is to enlighten my visitors to the delicious wines that can be had for a fraction of their percieved value. I love to send a bottle of Lirac home with a Chateauneuf lover, or perhaps just a bottle of Prosecco for the Champagne fiend. No matter what your favorite wine is, there is something affordable that you can substitute with great success.
Is the wine industry recession-proof? Obviously only time will tell. But I believe that even the most price conscious wine lover can find satisfaction with a little research, a little experimentation, and just a little help from The Wine Pig.
Salute!
